[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Latest NTSB briefing said data from CRJ showed altitude of 325 ft (+/- 25 ft) at impact.  They don't have data from BH yet but tower data is preliminarily showing BH altitude at 200 ft.  But tower data still needs to be cleaned up and could be showing a few seconds delay.  My takeaway is that the CRJ data is most accurate and shows impact at 300-350 ft and tower data is suggesting BH was at 200 ft seconds before impact but obviously climbed to 300-350 at time of impact.[/quote]

Briefing also mentioned that CRJ crew had a verbal reaction a second before impact and the plane started to pitch up, presumably to try to maneuver away.  So the pilots saw it coming at the last second. [/quote]

I hate they saw it coming..
That poor NTSB representative needs a break. I can’t imagine dealing with this and being asked the same damn question repeatedly, not to mention the one about how his meeting with the families went.  The man was in tears.[/quote]

Same.

Sounds like all ATC nation wide need to also notify jets of military helos intersecting their landings. Can’t trust anyone to process info correctly. [/quote]
